This episode was dynamic and great! It feels like a keystone episode in the series in that it's fitting all the arcs of the story from this and past seasons together! This show is one of the most well planned and still surprising series ever! I hope this is leading into a tie in with Avengers:Infinity War because the plot is seemingly just right there for it to pull things together with HYRDA and Thanos arrival on earth!

Well, I certainly did not expect a flashback episode, let alone one about the Hale character, to be one of the best of the season, but that is exactly the case tonight. Seeing the backstory of Hydra and what they are up to now was well-done and a nice break from the stuff we have gotten recently.
Not all of it worked, but this was a good episode.

This episode is strange in all the best of ways, it centers around the life of Hale, she starts as a disillusioned hydra recruit ready to change the world, only to find out that Hydra isn't about that..shocking I know! They don't tell us who her parents are and how she ended up in the training facility but it feels like she was born into it. We also see young future Hydra characters, Sitwell is cast perfectly I don't know how they pulled it off! Overall this episode is creative, well written and acted, fills many holes in the story and hits many emotional points. I love that this episode takes time away from our agents, goes back in time to show us how Hale got to where she is then tie up the whole plot in one neat story line, I did end up sympathizing with Hale to a certain point, she has issues though! Ruby is scary , I find her innocent face to be even more alarming considering she can be cruel as hell.
The episode sees the return of one of my favorite characters, Talbot, who has seen better days! any sympathy I had for Hale went out the window once I saw how terribly she treated him, it was so heartbreaking how he kept saying shield will come for him. I can't believe this show made me cry for Talbot!
We spend only a short time with our team, the fallout from last episode is in full force, this is also when I had to take a step back from the fandom because people were taking sides and it was not fun to chat about anymore!

I love this show so much, it's one of the best series I've ever watched in my life, and I'm literally obsessed with Ruby, she's the best character in this season ever, and I also love Daisy, love this series. I love all the actors and this was a very cool project. I wish if Ruby would have stayed more. Love this show so much Who would agree that Ruby is the best character and she is awesome and this part is the best because Ruby made it that way? I love Ruby I love Dove cameron she is really creative and Chloe bennet too
But I hate Yo_Yo so much Because she was the one who killed Ruby, and this is very bad. I don't know why her end was so bad. This is very upsetting.
Stupid (looking) character & villain

I HATE Ruby. She is (one of) the worst villains in TV history. And her LIPS! Her LIPS are so STUPID looking, I can hardly stand to look at her-and when she talks and eats, yuck! Why, WHYYYYY would someone do that to themselves! Very poor choice of actors for this role. I'm so glad she's not in a full season. And I'm SO sick of Hale and the Russian.
